Nifty Island

VS

Last Epoch

Nifty Island is an indie sandbox adventure game with a focus on user-generated content and social features. It has some interest in web3 and NFT communities but has not gained major mainstream traction. As a niche sandbox/platform title still in development or early access, its daily active player base is likely modest, in the hundreds range.

Last Epoch is an action RPG released in early 2024, developed by Eleventh Hour Games. It has received strong attention from the ARPG community, especially in the wake of Diablo IV's mixed reception. Daily player count is estimated around 70,000 based on Steam charts peaks and genre trends for new, well-received indie ARPGs. Continued post-launch content could sustain or grow this. It is not an MMO, as it does not feature a true persistent world or large-scale multiplayer environments—multiplayer is limited to smaller parties.
